There was Ravi from Malaysia who was burned in an accident and threatened with a $50,000 medical bill. Another friend lost her ATM card, one she had written the security number on, and found her accounts were being drained of funds.
Then there was the student, hurt in a car wreck, who needed home care after hospitalization. In each instance, it was an international student, in trouble and far from home and family. And in each incident, it was Jo Anne Clark who came to the rescue.
For more than a quarter century, Clark has served by turn as a cultural compass, enforcer of laws and welcoming guide to hundreds of international students at Tennessee Tech. Now the administrator is taking another turn, one she says that will enable her to achieve several goals she holds for herself: among them, international travel, relaxation and reading books for pleasure.
Clark retires from the university August 30, bringing to a close 27 years of service. Students and associates say she will be missed. "She knows everything and everyone," Yu said. "Dr. Clark brings a great deal of diligence to her work. She does things right for everyone and treats students as individuals."
As president of the Chinese Student Association, Yu says he has witnessed Clark's attention to detail and commitment to students. "Immigration laws are complex and must be applied very thoughtfully. Dr. Clark works with students and departments to make sure they understand the laws and regulations. In my department, the secretary knows a lot of the laws, and I think it's because of Dr. Clark. She's had that impact across the campus."
It was student concern that led to the establishment of Clark's office. In 1969, the first Indian student was elected to the then-Associated Student Body Senate. The first bill passed that session was a request to have an employee designated to assist international students. Clark had just returned from two years in Germany and seemed a natural for the work, so the responsibility of advising international students was tacked on to her tasks as assistant dean for women and cheerleader sponsor. It was an assignment that suited her well, Clark says, in spite of the challenge of juggling three sets of responsibilities and reporting to three different supervisors.
While most university members know her for her work with internationals -- the responsibility that gradually overtook her other duties -- Clark made substantive contributions in other areas of student service. She developed Tennessee TechUs first training programs for residence hall staff, residence hall student officers and student services staff. She established the first student orientation leadership program, edited the student handbook and served as liaison to the campus ministers association. And, along the way, she devoted weekends and midnight stretches to advancing her own education, earning a masterUs and doctorate in public administration through a pioneering campus-without-walls program offered in Nashville by Nova University.
As director of International Affairs, Clark recruited, admitted and welcomed international students. She helped them settle in and register for courses, monitored their academic progress and processed the immigration papers that regulate most aspects of their lives while here, including work and travel. The complex paperwork can be baffling, even to individuals who work with it on a daily basis, says Clark's long-time assistant, Teryll Beach, who retired in April.
She and I constantly turned to a thick manual that explains each facet of immigration law," Beach said. "The regulations are very sensitive, they're not something you can make a mistake on, because if you goof up it's the student who suffers. There is no recourse or if there is, it's expensive: The student has to leave the country and try again."
And that paperwork flows in two directions. Just as Clark assisted international students, she advised American studies who wanted to study abroad. She also is the officer responsible for bringing exchange professors and research scholars to Tennessee Tech, and she encouraged the university's faculty to explore reciprocal visits abroad.
Interaction with individuals from around the globe demands sensitivity to cultural differences, customs and barriers -- something that Clark has in full measure, according to Leo Benetti-Longhini, an Italian who earned two engineering degrees from Tennessee Tech.
"Dr. Clark has an open-mindedness about other cultures; she obviously enjoys other cultures and respects the differences among them," Benetti-Longhini said. "The advantage to the university has been that no matter where an international student is from, she seems to grasp the student's issues, deal with the person as an individual and do so in a way that is responsive to the student's cultural background."
In her first year, Clark launched a campus-community partnership that grew into the International Community Hospitality Association. Now in its 27th year, the organization pairs students with families in the community. It also offers a 'loan closet' of furniture for use in student apartments and organizes social activities that strive to build rapport between cultures.
"There was a great need, and there still is, for a program of this nature," says the organization's president, Julia Smoak. "Despite cultural differences, the color of our skin or the language we speak, weUre learning people are people the world over, we are all human beings with the same needs and wants and desires. The program Jo Anne instigated is a one-on-one way to establish some understanding amongst people and to learn from one another."
Smoak says the association has been a success and has served as a model for others elsewhere. The organization has contributed to a worldwide network of contacts for the university developed through friendships among the 5,000 or more internationals who have studied at Tennessee Tech since Clark began her work.
The number of programs established between Tech and international universities have come about pretty much because of Jo Anne. She went to Malaysia last year, and now there are 20 students from there coming to the university. She was able to do that, at least in part, because of her earlier contacts with students from that country, and she's had similar effect elsewhere."
Now that she is retiring, Clark says she hopes to visit many of those friends in travels abroad. "I intend to relax, possibly writing about my experiences, make time for family and friends and maybe even tackle a vegetable garden."
Clark says the memories she will carry include the transformations of the many students sheUs known. "Watching students come in who are very uncertain of their future and their study here and watching them grow into independent, mature individuals and graduate with such confidence -- that is why we're here, to help each person to achieve their educational goals."
Tennessee Tech is hosting a reception in honor of Clark from 2 to 4 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 29, in the President's Conference Room, Room 210, Derryberry Hall. Community members are welcome to attend.

The bad: The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 lacks ergonomic features and its base is quite wobbly.

This is by far the best choice for PS3 4 the price.
by Benners2009 on October 23, 2009
Pros: No ghosting
No Motion Blur at all
Low Input lag (reportedly less than a frame)
Great Color for a TN Panel
Incredibly great contrast ratio (which is good on fps discerning bad guys really far away from the background)
Looks great on MGS4 and Res2
Cons: No OSD save setting so you can't set it the way you like then change it 2 something else and then reselect your old setting. So if you change it 2 look the best for you PC then you have to change it back manually to get back 2 the best PS3 settings.

Summary: Koshinn's post above me is before he did some extra testing. He found that his first posted numbers weren't the input lag of the Samsung XL2370. We have been discussing this in another forum. I really trust cnet's reviews when it comes to the picture quality of HDTVs and LCD Monitors and that is how I first became interested in this monitor when I was looking to get a nice display for my PS3 in my room and saw cnet's very positive review. While I trust cnet's evaluation of picture quality (since they are pretty critical and particular in those areas among other things), I wasn't too sure about how in-depth they got into things like input lag as that is something most monitor owners aren't concerned with. While they did say there was no noticeable input lag, it doesn't seem like they did any overly technical test to determine the amount of input lag. I then came across a review on digitalversus and they claimed that it has an average of less that a frame of input lag. They also have a chart for each monitor showing how much colored and reverse ghosting there is for each monitor. That site reinforced my excitement about this montior as it wasn't out yet. I just got this monitor I think on wednesday and it is truly spectacular. I haven't found any ghosting or blur at all when playing games and that is really important to me because I am a competitive fps player and I want to be able to see well when I spin around real fast to get a headshot on whoever is attacking me from behind. The monitor scales 720p extremely well as Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Soul Calibur IV, and Fallout 3 all look great. I can't tell you how it looks on COD4 as I traded it in recently for credit towards MW2 (which is the main reason I got this monitor). I am very happy with the gaming performance of this monitor.

Form over Function equals Return

Pros: 1. The whites look very 'clean' and the colors (when viewed straight on) looked good.
2. It isn't a glossy screen.
Cons: 1. Wobbly base
2. Reflective lip and deep screen inset.
3. Touch buttons not very responsive.
4. Reflective/transparent border leads to distracting glowing.
5. Very limited tilt/swivel features.
6. Viewing angle is a show stopper.

Summary: Apparently monitors are being rated on a 'curve' since I can not see how the poor viewing angles provided by TN technology LCDs could attain a ranking of 4+ stars.
Here are the sub-optimal points:
1. Wobbly base. As mentioned in other reviews, the base is wobbly. The desk which the monitor sat on is fairly stable, but even typing on the keyboard with this monitor on top of the desk resulted in it wobbling. It wouldn't have been so bad, but it takes a second or two to stop wobbling. The monitor which this one was supposed to replace had no issues with this and I guess I didn't realize how stable the previous one is.
2. Reflective lip and deep screen inset. The reflection of the task bar and icons on it along the bottom edge is extremely distracting. The top edge also reflects what ever is on the desktop as well, but my background was somewhat dark and this wasn't as much of a distraction.
3. Touch buttons not very responsive. It took some effort to get used to making the touch buttons work with any predictability. Even after using them for awhile, they still seemed very unresponsive and far inferior to 'real' buttons.
4. Reflective/transparent border leads to distracting glowing. I do not know why companies are making TVs and computer monitors with reflective material surrounding the screen. It looks 'new and shiny' for about an hour before dust clings to it ruining the 'look'. The frame should not be noticeable when watching what is on the screen. This model has a transparent plastic surrounding it which creates areas that glow with reflected light from lights in the next room.
5. Very limited tilt/swivel features. The monitor stand does not tilt downward and doesn't swivel at all. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if #6 below weren't such an issue.
6. Viewing angle is a show stopper. When viewing from below (about the height a child would be viewing the screen at) the screen has a large dark bar that makes it difficult to make out what is on the screen. When viewed from above, there is a white bar that equally obscures the screen. Left and right of the screen the color is off and is overall much darker. This is by far the largest issue with this and seemingly 90% of the other LCD monitors made today. This is what led me to do more investigation. Apparently the industry has gone to a much cheaper technology called 'TN'. I found my previous LCD is 'IPS' which has nearly a 180 degree viewing angle - nearly twice as much as today's monitors. IPS monitors are still available to buy online, but the mainstream has switched to the TN type pushing all IPS monitors out of brick and mortar shops (like BestBuy) and causing them to be all the more expensive.
I've never written a review this long about anything, but I feel we as consumers have been led to believe this new 'cheap' technology is better than the old. It simply isn't true and until we realize that there is more to a monitor than 'how big' and 'how much', the industry will continue to produce low quality products in fancy packages.
There are two good things I can say about this monitor.
1. The whites look very 'clean' and the colors (when viewed straight on) looked good.
2. It isn't a glossy screen. It is a nice matte screen which hold back the reflections fairly well - unfortunately the shiny border around the screen brought it back down a couple notches with distracting reflections of its own.
Well, that is it...thank goodness for an easy return process through BestBuy - I only wish I could have saved them the trouble by noticing some of these issues in the store before buying. Since BestBuy does not carry any IPS-based monitors, I decided to go to eBay to get another monitor just like what I have. The price vs performance is much better going the used route when comparing a 20" monitor produced in 2005 to the new mainstream 23+" of today.

Summary: I was lucky that Best Buy was selling a day earlier than they were suppose to, or I would have never seen this beauty. Gaming and HD movies/shows look amazing. For the price, this is the best monitor to get.Since I got an ATI HD5850 this monitor is even more awesome. I don't need a sound card for my PC. Just one HDMI cable running from the 5850 to the monitor and then my desktop speakers plugged into the 3.5 jack and an optical cable running from the monitor to my surround sound. I'm glad they went this route for audio output instead of adding more weight for crappy speakers.

Good for everything but FPS and fighting games
by Koshinn on October 20, 2009
Pros: Thin
Looks great
Amazingly bright
Very sharp picture
Above average color reproduction
Cons: 6 frames of lag (1/10th second or 100ms) over HDMI
9-10 frames of lag (150-166ms) over DVI-A
That means playing single-player or local multiplayer games is like online, and online is just that much more laggy.
Summary: As fighting game players know, 6 frames of lag makes some moves guaranteed and many others almost impossible to see before they hit. As FPS players know, 1/10th of ...
Summary: As fighting game players know, 6 frames of lag makes some moves guaranteed and many others almost impossible to see before they hit. As FPS players know, 1/10th of a second is a LOT of time to be missing.Upon further testing it seems I jumped to a conclusion. The monitor only lags over DVI-A, not HDMI. It seems Street Fighter IV is culprit here, it lags 6 frames consistently over all systems and televisions I've tested in the last 24 hours. It's strange that no one has found this before.
If you're not in a very competitive category in either of those two games, you probably won't notice it. If you're playing any other type of game, doing office work, media work, or just surfing the web, this monitor is perfect.
I wish CNET did in-depth input lag tests rather than just by "feel." It's about time that a major review site started releasing test numbers on input lag to put manufacturers in their place.
There are two ways to test input lag that I know of, both require a camera with 60 fps video recording or faster.
What I did was played a fighting game (SF IV) with known attack speeds in frames. In this case, Ryu's close LP is 3 frames. You setup the camera such that you can see the screen and your keyboard. Hit the attack key as quickly as possible, leaving your finger down. You count the frames it takes from your finger pressing the key until the attack connects, then subtract the known speed of the attack - 3 frames. I counted 9 over HDMI and 12-13 over DVI-A. Thus, 6 and 9-10 frames of lag respectively.
The best test, however, requires a splitter for your output. You run a stopwatch on your computer with miliseconds displayed, then split the output, one to a CRT and one to the test monitor. CRTs (not HD TVs) via VGA have zero input lag generally, but use the previous method to test them first. Then use a camera with a high shutter speed (with both the control and test monitor in frame) and basically take a series of pictures and average the difference you see in the stopwatch on both screens. That'll give you a much more accurate input lag reading, but in general, frames are enough... a frame being 1/60th of a second, or the speed at which PS3/360 games run and the max refresh rate of most LCDs.

I'd give this monitor a 4.5 star rating now; it still doesn't show your bios and other startup information when connected through hdmi or dvi-a.

Touch sensitive controls
As others have stated no mounting screw holes.
Only 25 degree tilt.

Summary: Its a monitor, and the best monitor i've ever owned. Period. If you don't have room for a big screen HDTV or want something for competitive gaming with great picture quality, this is the deal. The new LED technology is a huge difference. Amazing picture quality and great response time(2ms).
There are obviously some cons, the biggest one has to be the lack of mounting screws, but a trip to home depot can get you a makeshift apparatus for that problem.
Overall if your looking to spend <$500 on a good LCD this is the one to get hands down. It's not a T.V. but if you have a digital receiver you can input it through DVI/HDMI/Component cables and use it as one. LG's 24" LED is a close competitor but the 16:9 aspect ratio makes this monitor much more versatile for console gaming and Hi-Def content.

PS3, 360, BluRay, PC Monitor - XL2370 makes it happen

Summary: I feel the need to write something for people that are considering this monitor for PS3, 360, and PC and NO consistent info to go on.
I bought the monitor on 4/2/10 and LOVE IT!!! However, it should be noted that in order to get the BEST, MOST CRISP picture using consoles like PS3 or 360, YOU have to adjust the settings on the CONSOLE itself. The problem is that there is NO upscaling to make things smooth built into the monitor. An example would be Final Fantasy XIII vs InFamous. FFXII is 1080p "native" (meaning that it was made for that resolution) so it looks FANTASTIC on the monitor when set to 1080p. InFamous however is 720p "native" meaning if u still have ur console (PS3 in this case) set to 1080p it WILL still process it as such since the signal is still 1080p, BUT it will look BLOCKY because the game isn't made for that resolution. Same goes for the 360.
If not, the ONLY way to combat that is to
A) Find a monitor that upscales (which I don't believe exists)
B) Manually change it for each game (Check the back of the case to see what the game's highest resolution is so it'll look better)
or C) Get a small HDTV which usually has upscaling abilities built into it.
BluRay is crisp with everything, the upscaling is not very noticable for older BluRays. For normal DVD's it's to be expected that some upscaling can be seen since they were't made for HD viewing in the first place; but still look good.
PCs...NOTHING looks bad using ur PC with it. As long as ur Video Card can handle 1900 x 1080 ur good to go. Then you only have to worry about the quality of your video, not the monitor
Hope this helps anyone interested.

Summary: This is a great monitor, and the pros easily outway the cons. People seem to get hung up on the "wobbly" base and touch controls but seriously, its not like the thing is always falling over, or even moving around. I put a little sticky-tack on the bottom base just in case though, as I have done with all of my monitors. The touch controls aren't super responsive but definitely easy and perfectly usable. Honestly, its not like you're really using them that much anyway. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reasonable priced quality monitor, everyone who sees it is very impressed. Great for small rooms like dorm rooms and apartments as a TV too.

Summary: I've never seen such quality from any monitors I've owned or used. It's quality matches those from Viewsonic but sharper, brightness definitely higher than most monitors by at least 20%. In terms of its design and thickness along the lines of Benq. This monitor really feels a cut above the rest even in the price. Equivalent to the price of 2 monitors of its size but quality pays off. The LED overall feels brighter than conventional LCD monitors and slightly sharper but generally not much difference between high end LCD.

I have been working at Yankee Candle full-time for more than a year
Pros – The company gives extensive training and development on all levels. You are given MANY tools to develop your business acumen and strategy. The sales program is called A.S.A.P. Used properly, it gives a manager a clear cut manner in which to train everyone in the store (including themselves) in proper sales techniques. It is short and simple and allows you to observe and coach effectively.
The bonus structure is generous. If you make your goals, EVERYONE gets a bonus, irregardless of your position and hours that you work. The Company's attitude is that it takes a team to achieve great sales results. As a SM, we have a lot of responsibility, however, it is not a success in which we can take all of the credit ! It takes a village...
Your days fly by !!! There is ALWAYS something to do if business is slow. The customers are loyal to the brand and quite proud of this ! The Company's return policy is generous which makes the customers happy and assures repeat business. For the most part, our customers are wonderful and a lot of fun.
Cons – The downside is more of a comment on retail management in general- in light of the economic climate. Yankee Candle is no worse than any other retailer at this time. No matter where you are working, management is expected to do more with less payroll. If you are the kind of manager that is committed to growing your business, you will have long work weeks. 50+ hrs most of the time. Holidays there are more expectations for your time in the store. But you are given comp days.
Advice to Senior Management – Quicker turnaround on replenishment.
Simplify communications. TOO MANY EMAILS !!!! Let us run our stores and spend our time servicing customers. It is crazy to have to check two email boxes MULTIPLE times, daily, in order to react on a dime !
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Yankee Candle part-time for less than a year

On a downhill slide – The new owners don't seem to know how to run a deli.
During our visit they were out of all soups.
My Ruben had two slices of meat, it was very greasy, bread was wet due to too much dressing.
It was not a pleasant lunch, just overpriced for what you get.
Thank you for your review. I would like to point out that the date of your visit was the coldest day of the year and we sold out of most of our soups by 1pm. We have owned the diner for over a year now, and our sales are up. I regret that you did not enjoy your visit, and wish you had said something while you were here so I could address these issues. We appreciate you coming in, and hope you will try us again sometime.
Rich McCann, owner
Great food, quick service, and clean. – Service staff was very good. Actually saw them smile even though it was in the middle of lunch rush. Food came out quickly and was very good. Highly recommend their lunch. A little on the pricey side, but worth it. Atmosphere great! Well done Deerwood Deli... I will be back with friends.

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.

Glasgow, Glasgow City, UK - Gender: Male - Age: 35-44
Unlike the previous reviewer, (who sounds like he doesn't quite understand how the product works), I had no problems connecting this Bluetooth/Wireless sound bar with my new Samsung F7000 TV.
This is easily done by optical cable straight from the back of the bar to the connection point on the higher spec. Samsung TVs - Sound Share works perfectly. Sound is good enough. For £269.99, it is not the greatest Sound Bar out there and at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. In saying that, it packs a reasonable punch, especially the deep base from the sub woofer. However, some of the sound effects lack originality and at times authenticity. The design is superb - slim and sleek and you can put the sub-woofer anywhere in the room, even nicely tucked behind a chair. I am sure this will very soon plummet in price with the 2014 models surely soon to be launched......I will probable get another one for the 2nd Samsung TV we've just bought for our conservatory!Show more +
Kent, UK - Gender: Female - Age: 55-64
I purchased this sound bar 10 days ago to go with a Samsung F8000 TV. It has given nothing but trouble from day 1. I have tried connecting the soundbar to the TV with optical cable - by bluetooth - by HDMI/ARC/CEC cable and there is no way that the subwoofer can be moved more than 3ft away from the sound bar before it drops its connection.
Samsung advertise the fact that it can be placed anywhere in the room but this is not the case. I am stuck with a huge, ugly box sitting next to my TV to get any sound. Samsung support are next to useless and take you through the same paring exercise time after time, admit that it isn't working but won't do anything or honour its guarantee. I will never buy a Samsung product again, flaky technology.Show more +
Wood End, Atherstone, England - Gender: - Age:
First and formost I have to say that when I took the system out of the wrapping I was initially dissapointed to realise that it is gunmetal in colour.
Gunmetal IS silver...but not the bright silver that surrounds my 55ES8000. So you need to plan ahead if you want a match with your existing, I'm assuming Samsung, equipment. I'm getting used to it and I dont think I would would want a bright silver soundbar on display while watching a movie with the lights down... Only two cables are required - the power leads for each component and thats it!!. If your Samsung Smart TV has Soundshare it will connect to the bar via Bluetooth and the bar will 'talk' to the Subwoofer as long as its placed anywhere up to 8 meters. If the speech should be out of synch with the picture..this can be adjusted as well. Loads of sound effect settings are on offer like 'News', 'Cinema', Movie in addition to various '3D' sound settings as well. Bluetooth music straight to the 551 from your smartphone...excellent. Another truly excellent piece of equipment from Samsung where functionality for the customer has been really catered for. Samsung, Please continue this approach.Show more +

CONTACT: Michelle Dock
TEMPE, Ariz. – The Gallery at Tempe Center for the Arts is making available a new three-lesson, online unit plan designed for use with Green Revolution, a collaborative project that combines the arts and sciences while teaching community members about "going green" in Arizona. Download
The lessons, called "Going Green," are intended to deepen and enlighten the art appreciation experiences of elementary and secondary school students and were created by the Gallery along with Arizona State University Professor Mary Erickson, Ph.D.
"Education, outreach and dialog are important missions of the Gallery at TCA," Coordinator Michelle Nichols-Dock said. "Combining easy-to-use, comprehensive materials with a visit to the Tempe Center for the Arts provides youth with a realistic art education experience."
The curriculum unit and accompanying outreach programs for the exhibition were funded through the city of Tempe and grants from the Friends of TCA and SRP. Green Revolution is based on an exhibition originally created by the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry and its Black Creativity Council and is made available by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
About the exhibition
This eco-friendly, green-themed exhibition is on display through May 25 at Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 W. Rio Salado Parkway, and engages visitors by addressing critical environmental issues concerning the local community. Tempe worked with local artists and organizations to create an interactive exhibition that is free.
For information about the Gallery and TCA Outreach programs, call 480-350-5679.

An Interview With Robert Levin
Owner, Holt's Cigar Store, Inc., and the Ashton Brand
Marvin R. Shanken
From the Print Edition:
Danny DeVito, Winter 96
Robert Levin, 50, has been in the cigar business since he was a child. He swept floors, packed shipments and took inventory in his father's retail cigar store in downtown Philadelphia when he was still in grade school.
Levin's experience in the cigar industry includes some of the worst of times, and today, the best of times. He started working for his father full-time in 1973 and took over the business in the late 1970s. Levin consolidated and expanded the family's retail business, capitalizing on a demand for mail order cigars in his local market. In 1985, he launched Ashton cigars, which is one of the most highly respected brands in the marketplace today.
Today, Levin has seen his business grow eightfold since 1992. He not only has a thriving and elegant new retail store and a major cigar brand, but a solid catalogue business as well.
In a wide-ranging interview with Cigar Aficionado editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken, Levin discusses the history of the family's business, as well as the future of the cigar industry.
Cigar Aficionado: How and when did your family first get into the tobacco business?
Levin: My father bought Holt's Cigar Company, which was a small retail store in Philadelphia in the mid- '50s. He was a clothing manufacturer before that. I was about 11 years old when he bought it. So I grew up in the cigar business.
CA: What made him go from clothing manufacturing to the cigar business? Was it just a hobby business?
Levin: No. He had smoked pipes and cigars his whole life. He had just shut down his clothing operation in Philadelphia. He was looking for another business and Holt's became available. He bought it.
CA: How long had Holt's been in business?
Levin: The original Holt's cigar company started in 1911. However, after we purchased Holt's, we also bought Harry Tint & Sons, in 1980, which was another old-time Philadelphia retail cigar store. They started their business in 1898, so today we say Holt's history traces back to 1898.CA: When your dad, Albert Levin, bought the store in the 1950s, how big was the business?

No trade request from Erat … other Caps notes
It has not been a well held secret that Martin Erat isn't happy with his ice time through the first three games. He isn't happy with a fourth line assignment either. However, unlike last season when he requested a trade form Nashville, Erat has not made that request to the Capitals . . . yet.
Erat said he has spoken with Capitals coach Adam Oates but is not sure what the future holds for him.
"I know what I can do," Erat said. "We'll see what happens."
Asked if he's considered requesting a trade, Erat replied, "No, not yet."
Erat slid to the fourth line as Brooks Laich got healthy. Now the Caps are in a bind. The paid dearly for Erat, giving up a first round draft pick, Filip Forsberg, but have little other options to increase Erat's ice time. Erat's ice time decreased even more to just 6:34 against Calgary. So far, for the Caps, the trade at the deadline looks pretty damn brutal.
Other News:
* Caps will welcome two to the ice tonight. Michael Latta, acquired at the trade deadline last season with Martin Erat, will make his home ice debut tonight. Latta, who started the season off on the Caps roster, was sent down to Hershey after the season opener, then recalled a few days ago. Latta replaces Jay Beagle in the lineup tonight and will center the fourth line.
* In addition, newly sign defenseman Alex Urbom will make his Capitals debut tonight, replacing rookie Connor Carrick. Urbom is only 22 years old and was acquired off waivers from New Jersey.
* Capitals take their NHL leading power play into the Verizon Center tonight at a 50% conversion rate, having scored on 6 of 12 power play opportunities. Washington is 14th in the NHL with the penalty kill, sitting at 81.8%.

Poured a clear golden color without any head at all.
The scent was very skunky with a little hint of citrus.
The taste was similar, skunky, even less citrus presence, no hop presence, very watery.
Light bodied, thin and watery, low carbonation.
Unfortunately there isn't anything good I can say about this beer. Avoid this at all costs.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a pretty deep copper color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is very mild, some faint malts, not a lot going on. Taste is light, well balanced malts and hops, not overly flavorful but very easy drinking. Probably better suited for drinking on a hot summer day. Feels light in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

Served on tap a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served an amber color with a one finger of a white foamy head. The head has a good level of retention, slowly fading to leave a moderate level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the beer is quite heavy of a bready and caramel smell along with some other aromas toffee. Some light smells of roasted malt as well as a little bit of grassy hop are in the nose as well producing a rather balanced aroma overall.
Taste – The taste begins with a slightly grainy and bready taste with hints of caramel sweetness within. The caramel is light upfront, gaining intensity up through the middle of the taste. At that point the graininess begins getting stronger as well and some lighter fruit flavors of apple and pear coming to the tongue. Some lighter roasted flavors greet the tongue at the end and with a bit of toffee and a light grassy bite, end up leaving a rather moderately sweet, very lightly roasted, and grainy flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the medium side in terms of its thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is on the average side. Both are rather appropriate of the sweeter, bready and grainy flavors of the brew matching the tastes well and making for an easy drinking brew.
Overall – A fairly pleasant and easy drinking ale. Not outstanding but nice none the less.

A: The beer is clear yellowish amber in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high light beige head that died down a bit, leaving a thick collar around the edge of the glass and some lacing in the center and down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of caramel and cracker malts are present in the nose along with some hints of butter.
T: The taste mostly follows the smell and also has some added hints of fruity yeast. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied and a little chewy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is quite malty for an APA and doesn't have much in the way of hops in the smell or taste. It seems to resemble more of an English Pale Ale.

A- A clear dark amber with a three finger off-white head.
S- Citrus, floral notes, some sweet malts, not very big.
T- Bigger than the nose, nice balance between hops and malts, sweet malts, citrus, nice floral notes, slightly bready, slightly watery.
M- Smooth, fairly crisp, light to medium body.
O- Overall not bad, but doesn't wow me. I probably won't pick this up again because there are other local pale ales that I enjoy more.

Pour is a dark, murky, muddy brown/amber. No head.
Nose is light a sweet. Little caramel. little malt. Little sweet corn.
Taste is a little flat. Little burst of sweet malt up front, followed by a very potent but muted dry and bitter hop. Tastes like hops with a blanket wrapped around them. Little bit of boozy aftertaste of scotch.
Feel is medium, slightly medium thin.
Adequate. Fine to try. Decent option in a pinch. Not a go to though. Just kinda average.

Bottle into a stemless wine glass before Fri dinner of fresh tomatoe sauce, this will go well with dinner!
A: Pours an interesting mostly clear amber to mahogany , darker than Long Trail Ale or an ALT Beer. Light carbonation. 1 finger foamy/sudsy beige head that reduces to a thin film, medium lacing.
So far looks better than Long Trail Ale.
S: Very laid back and lightweight aroma, want more. Malts with a hint of biscuit followed by subtle salt grassy hops. Beachy and industrial at the same time, just like Delaware.
T: Caramel malts with a little brown sugar. A nice ale flavor arc. Just a little metallic, or oddness mars the dry, clean finish. Other wise, my mouth says - mmm would like another sip and this goes well with fresh tomato sauce dinner.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Healthy dryness in the finish.
O: A dark APA. Dry, But missing the sensations of a great one like Dales Pale Ale. Stick to a larger, flavor profile. But perfectly fine back up beer. Great choice with food.

In A Franchise, When Does The Money Start Rolling In?
by FranchiseKing, Guest Blogger
- Created: February 18, 2014, 9:28 am
You need to know how long it's going to take to start recouping your investment in the franchise concept you've chosen. You certainly shouldn't have to guess how long it's going to take for you to see some green.
If you'd like to find out when the money will start rolling in, keep reading. I'm going to show you how to get that money question answered.
Open For Business
The day you open your franchise business up, you should see some money rolling in.
That day…Grand Opening Day should be a day to remember, especially if the marketing department at franchise headquarters did its job. Customers should be everywhere. Wallets should be out. Money should be rolling in. And, when word gets out that there's a new business in town, you should see a good amount of foot traffic (if it's a retail or food franchise) going in and out of your new business.
Money will be flowing in. It will feel good. You'll feel like a million bucks. Enjoy that feeling. Savor it like a fine wine or a corn-fed steak.
The Money Can't Roll Into Your Pocket Yet
The money that's rolling into your new business can't go into your pocket. Not yet. It needs to go back into your business. You'll have expenses to cover…things like rent, inventory, advertising and utilities. Of course there's payroll. And don't forget that you have to repay the small business loan you received.
That probably won't leave much…and it's not supposed to. You own a brand-new business…a startup business. Before you can pocket some of the money that will be coming in, you need to get your franchise business to break-even.* That should be your short-term goal.
What Is Break-Even?
That's the point in which your revenue pays your business expenses. Only then can you start thinking about pocketing some of the money that's coming in.
But, you knew that.
That's because you took the time to write a proper business plan. One that included your sales forecast. A good business plan will include projections. You'll have an idea of when you'll be breaking even, what your sales will have to be to get there.
Franchise Ownership Is A Long-Term Thing
You've got to be in it for the long haul.
If you're looking to replace your salary quickly, it probably won't happen. You're going to have to be patient. Your family will have to be patient too. Hopefully, you've set aside some funds to get you through those first few months…or longer.
I know you want to see the money rolling in.
Choose a franchise that's a good match for your skills. Make sure it's well within your means. Talk to a lot of existing franchisees, and chose one or two to visit in-person. Write a formal business plan. Consult with a franchise attorney.
If you do enough right things, the money may well roll in.
I'm pulling for you.

the projections and break even analysis. The times of financial crisis taught
us many things, so I would additionally recommend people to prepare
projections according to pessimistic, realistic and optimistic scenarios and
consider options they have according to each plan.

doing too well with it, though initial months can be full of hardships, but
once the business is well grounded then money can really be rolled in without
much trouble.It one of the innovate business plan to start with & do better
for the future.

#2 Saints Open 2010 Season with Pair of Victories
– The 2nd-ranked North Georgia softball team picked up right
where they left off last season, picking up a pair of victories
over Mount Olive College and Erskine College on the opening day of
the Aiken Early Bird Tournament.
North Georgia opened the day against Mount Olive, taking down the Trojans 9-1 in five innings, before coming back in the nightcap and polishing off Erskine College 3-0.
In game one, the Saints used a pair of hits from Courtney McGuire and Natasha Willemse who led the way at the plate, while Laura Voyles recorded a triple in three plate appearance to drive in three runs.
Sarah Phillips tossed four innings of one-hit ball, allowing one earned run while striking out six and walking one before Lauren Dykes came on in relief for her collegiate debut. Dykes threw one inning and recorded one strike out while walking one.
In game two, a pitchers duel broke out as the game went to the bottom of the fifth still scoreless until North Georgia finally broke the tie as Katherine Martin led off the inning with a triple and Dykes came on to run and later scored on a fielder's choice to make it 1-0. Callie Fernandez provided the fireworks later in the inning with an RBI single for the second run of the game before coming around to score and cap a three-run inning, which proved to be enough for the Saints in the 3-0 shutout.
Phillips (2-0) stayed undefeated as she went the distance, allowing four hits in all seven innings of work as the junior recorded nine strikeouts and allowed just one walk.
The Saints return to action on Sunday afternoon, starting off at 10:00 a.m. against Barton College, before coming back with two games against Chowen and Seton Hill to cap off play at the Aiken Early Bird Tournament.

History of the Longhouse
The "House of Welcome" Longhouse Education and Cultural Center is a public service center at The Evergreen State College. Built in collaboration with Northwest tribes, it is the first building of its kind on a public campus in the United States. The Longhouse is a multi-purpose facility, able to serve a variety of educational, cultural and community functions. Founded upon a vision of hospitality and service, it is a gathering place for people of all cultural backgrounds to teach and learn with each other.
The Foundation & Construction
Evergreen's Native programs began in 1972, when faculty member Mary Ellen Hillaire of the Lummi tribe founded the Native American Studies program. She is also credited with having first articulated the need to have a culturally appropriate facility, such as a longhouse, on campus so that people from all different cultural backgrounds could teach and learn with each other. Her vision for a public gathering space influenced students in the Master in Public Administration program, who wrote their thesis exploring issues relating to the creation of a Longhouse at Evergreen. Colleen Jollie took the lead as the Longhouse Coordinator, who oversaw the project to its completion.
Graduating classes of Evergreen students designated a portion of their fees to go toward the creation of the Welcome Figures that stand at each side of the entrance. The Quinault Indian Nation donated much of the timber used in the building. The Burke Museum donated cedar shakes and posts from the Sea Monster House, which was erected as part of the World's Fair in 1962. The Squaxin Island tribe held annual fundraising dinners and the Makah and Skokomish Tribes provided cultural and spiritual leadership. The Washington State Legislature allocated 2.2 million for construction of the building.
The Longhouse opened in 1995 with over 1,000 people in attendance, including Governor Mike Lowry and many tribal dignitaries. The inaugural year of the Longhouse coincided with the first year of the Daniel J. Evans Scholar program, which brought five Native American scholars to campus: Hazel Pete, John Hottowe, Billy Frank Jr., Buffy St. Marie and Sherman Alexie.
The Longhouse Today
In 2005 the Longhouse celebrated its ten-year anniversary with a huge potlatch that featured dancing, drumming, feasting and gifting. In 2009 the Longhouse celebrated a renovation and expansion with a grand reopening ceremony and potlatch that featured dancing, drumming, feasting and gifting.
The Longhouse continues to promote indigenous arts and cultures through a wide variety of programs.
For more than a decade the mission of the "House of Welcome" Longhouse Education and Cultural Center at The Evergreen State College has been to promote indigenous arts and cultures. In the beginning, we focused on six local Puget Sound tribes and their artists; today we work with indigenous artists throughout the Pacific Northwest region, nationally, and with other Pacific Rim indigenous peoples.
We enjoy convening groups of artists, providing a venue, forum, and tools that are needed for artists to express their creativity. Artists are luminaries of their cultures; lighting the pathway back into the far reaches of history, and leading the way into the future with their creative vision.
Master weaver Hazel Pete (1915-2003) once said:
"Indian people have always used what was available to them, and today we have the world."
The legacies left behind by master artists such as Hazel Pete and Bruce Miller have provided foundational principles for the work of the Longhouse.

For a while over the past week or so, the future of the Big 12 Conference did look like it was going down the drain forever. But worry not you college football traditionalists, good ol' University of Texas decided last Monday that it was not going to move to another conference, basically saving the Big 12 and its 10 remaining teams. (Both the University of Nebraska and University of Colorado already decided to jump the Big 12 ship before sinks.)
Now that the lynchpin Longhorns have settled everything down with their decision to stay in the Big 12, let's back up here to see exactly how all of this conference mayhem started. Hell, this could go back years, really. The independent Notre Dame could be the original culprit by keeping its own individual television contract with NBC rather than signing with any conference. It seems like the Big Ten Conference could (and wants to) bring them in to the fold (as it does with basketball) but Notre Dame will have none of that. As always, all NCAA conferences are looking to grow and make more money by creating mega-conferences with a large number of schools, thus securing bigger and more lucrative TV contracts.
For the past several months, officials at CU have hinted that the school may sign on with another conference other than the Big 12. And really, nobody put any stock in those rumors. It's CU. Who would believe that CU is gutsy enough to pull some sort of conference move that could change the face of college athletics?
On top of these rumors and the fact that conferences constantly try to reposition themselves to make more money, there is the ongoing debate about whether college football should have a playoff system rather than the flawed Bowl Championship Series.
With all of this going on, it was the middle of last week when I turned on ESPN radio to hear that a reporter had inside information that the University of Nebraska was going to make the big move from the Big 12 to the Big Ten (which had 11 schools and is now at an even 12) and they planned to make a formal announcement at the end of the week
"This is the beginning of the end of the Big 12," the ESPN reporter said. An apparent stampede to change the face of college football was underway.
The CU athletic department took that to heart and immediately accepted an invitation to move from the Big 12 to the Pac 10 (which now as 11 schools). Basically, that's how the apparent Big 12 Armageddon started. What happened over the weekend with the remaining schools in the Big 12 was a lot of backroom deals, possible alliances and a lot of fretting over just what the landscape would look like if the Big 12 actually went belly up. It was like Nebraska screamed fire in a crowded room, escaped with CU, and slammed the door on the rest of the Big 12 to burn.
At this point, nobody knew what was going to happen to the Big 12, or with any conference in the country for that matter. Texas and Texas A&M heard offers from the South East Conference and the Pac 10. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech would perhaps accept offers to the Pac 10, which could then form into two eight-team divisions. Maybe the Big 10 would then pick up Maryland or Rutgers. What about the smaller Big 12 schools like Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa? Would they be forced to go to the WAC or the Mountain West? The possibilities of what could happen and who could lose were very grim for a lot of schools over this four or five day period of college football chaos.
Basically everybody was waiting to see what the money schools of the Big 12 were going to do. If Texas or Oklahoma were to go to the Pac 10 or the SEC, the conference would have folded. In the end (and to many schools' relief), Texas made the announcement that it was going nowhere and that the Big 12 would not only remain alive but get a great TV deal out of the whole thing. There was a huge sigh of relief for those schools who hung in there and didn't jump overboard prematurely (CU).
"I got resuscitated," Baylor football coach Art Briles told ESPN.com. "You can take your hands off my chest…I am extremely excited, it's like being given new life."
Now that things have settled, who has won and who has lost? Now that the Big 12 has 10 teams, they don't have enough teams to have a conference championship and will lose revenue with that. Without Nebraska in the Big 12, Texas will have an even easier run to the National Championship, as all of its road games are pretty easy. Bottom line is the new make up will make it even easier for the Longhorns to win year after year.
The Big Ten, which now has 12 teams, will be able to have a conference championship, so that will be good for them. And the Pac 10? We will see if they can get any other schools to join them from other conferences and if they can create two eight-team divisions. With USC getting punished recently, teams like CU and Utah may be perfect teams to prey on in their weakened state.
What a football fiasco this all was, and I am still not sure I understood any of it. As my conspiracy theorist buddy Joey said, all of this was done to keep our interest in college football and to take our minds off the need for a college football playoff system.
So let's do our math here. The Big 12 is now really the big 10. The Big Ten (which should have been the big 11 is now really the big 12. The SEC is still the SEC. The Pac 10 is now the pac 11. And the ACC? Well, the ACC is still snoozerville.
And what about CU? How did the overly jumpy school fair in all of this. Who cares? Go Rams.
